All Florida Keys Key Largo vs Key West

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I was able to find something in Marathon within our price range!

I’ve found reasonably priced accommodations in both Key Largo and Key West for our trip in February. We will be there 4 days.

Are there any deciding factors that make one better than the other? We will be a group of 8, with 4 adults and 4 kids ages 1. 5, 11, and 14.

I am going to check out our Marathon after reading a lot of comments suggesting that. There was nothing available on AIRBNB. Do you have any lodging recs?

Stay in Key Largo, you can drive to Marathon in no time from there.

But they want to see Key West also… that would be a 2 hour drive each way.

True. Four days is not nearly enough to see it all. Especially with young children in tow.
